I ran a quick test this evening, installing Windows XP 64-bit on the ASRock X99 Extreme4 mainboard I use for Windows 2000 Professional. I ran nLite 1.4.9.3 to integrate 5eraph's update pack and IE8 Addon, and Fernando's AHCI SATA and sSATA drivers. I tested Microsoft Update to get the .net frameworks and updates, just to see that it (MU) worked okay. I think the screenshot has all the other information. The OS installation and so forth was trouble-free. I have no plans to pursue this further for now, but wanted to post this brief FYI before I button up this hardware with W2K Pro.

Yes, @Dave-H & I both decided to post about today's Silverlight update at around the same time. He picked this thread & I picked another

Yes, can be downloaded from: https://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jre8-downloads-2133155.html

@Dave-H Download-Center Silverlight Version 5.1.50918.0 https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=57768

Believe it or not, 5.1.50907 may not be the final release. On Win 7, WU just today updated Silverlight to 5.1.50918! Edit: It looks like one of those updates to handle the new Japanese era (like the Office 2010 updates M$ keeps fouling up), so it may or may not be compatible with XP. I checked MU on my XP VM. The update wasn't there, but since POSReady '09 is still supported, it still might appear in a day or two. Edit 2: Downloaded the new Silverlight to my XP VM and installed it. Does anyone know of a good Silverlight test page?

I have hard time with influenza and took me time to fix database server issue.

Yay, MSFN is back.

Behaviour Shield is a purely heuristic module, isn't it? If so, the best one can do is to turn it off / remove it forever. AVG, at least (and I've used it for many years, always was overly paranoid in its heuristics)... in fact, giving it a name which initials are BS is very appropriate. To believe in heuristics, one need at least 20 different opinions, since the engines suck so much. Leave it to Virus Total on-demand. Do not use it as an always-on scanner, because that's just a PITA, nothing more. My 2¢ only, of course! Feel free to ignore. But I'd feel very dishonest with y'all, hadn't I told y'all what my experience with antivirus heuristics is.

I worked around it by installing Windows with the SSD plugged to one of the Intel SATA2 ports (AHCI), installed the Marvell drivers through Device Manager and then connected the SSD to the Marvell controller.

It crashes with certain video drivers only, I already have a fix, but I didn't have time to make it ready it yet.
